[Dm] [F]
[Bb] Look at yourself, if you had a sense of humor, [Eb] you would laugh [Dm] to beat the band.
[Eb]
[Dm] [Bb] Look at yourself, do you still believe the rumor [Eb] that [Dm] romance is simply grand?
[B] [Gb] Since you took [B] it [Gb] on the chin, [G] [D] you have lost [Dm] that two [A]-faced grin.
[C] My mental state [Eb] is all a jumble.
[Cm] I sit around [Dm] and sadly mumble,
[Ab] [Eb] fools rush [Bb] in.
So here am I, [Eb] [Dm] very glad [Eb] to [Dm] be unhappy.
[Cm] [Eb] I can't win, [Bb] but [Ab] here am I, [Dm] more than glad [Bb] to be unhappy.
[Eb] Unrequited [Bb] love's a bore, [F] and I've got [Bb] it pretty bad.
[Eb] [G] But for [Dm] someone [F] you [G] adore, [Cm] [Eb] it's a [Bb] pleasure to be sad.
[Cm] [Gm] Like a strange [Ebm]
baby [Cm] lamb, with [Eb] no mammy and [F] no pappy, I'm so unhappy.
[Dm] [Gm] Well, [F] oh, [Cm]
[Eb] [Bb] so glad.
[Gm]
[C] [Cm] [Dm]
[Eb] [Dm] [Cm] [Gm]
[Ab] [D] [F]
[Bb] [Eb]
Unrequited [Bb] love's a bore, [F]
and I've got it [Bb] pretty bad.
But [Eb] for someone [Dm] you adore, [Gm] [Cm]
[Eb] it's a [Bb] pleasure to be [F] [Bb] sad.
[Cm]
[Eb] Like a strange [Ebm] baby [Cm] lamb, [Eb] with no mammy and no [Dm] pappy, [Eb] I'm so unhappy.
[Dm]
[Eb] [Abm] But [Cm] [D] oh, [Bb] so glad.
